M1AGL1000V5-FG256I

The M1AGL1000V5-FG256I is an IGLOO family flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 256-LBGA package, designed for industrial applications. This ARM-enabled M1 IGLOO device combines low-power flash technology with reprogrammability and on-chip embedded memory to support compact, power-sensitive embedded systems.

Key value propositions include ultra-low power modes with retained state, on-chip nonvolatile configuration, and a high-density logic fabric suitable for control, signal processing, and mixed-signal interfacing in industrial environments.

Key Features

• Logic and Capacity  Approximately 24,576 logic elements (24,576 logic cells) and 1,000,000 system gates provide high integration density for complex designs.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 147,456 bits (approximately 0.144 Mbits) for data buffering and dual-port SRAM use.
• I/O and Packages  177 user I/Os in a 256-LBGA (256-FPBGA, 17×17) package; surface-mount mounting type suitable for compact board layouts.
• Power and Low-Power Modes  Flash*Freeze ultra-low-power mode with power consumption as low as 5 μW and Low Power Active (static idle) operation from 12 μW; documented core voltage support across the IGLOO family and a specified device supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V.
• Nonvolatile Flash Configuration  Flash-based reprogrammable configuration with on-chip nonvolatile storage and FlashLock security to protect FPGA contents.
• ARM Cortex-M1 Support  As an M1 IGLOO device, it supports implementation of the 32-bit Cortex-M1 soft processor in the FPGA fabric (ARM-enabled ordering numbers begin with M1AGL). Note: ARM-enabled IGLOO devices do not support on-chip AES decryption.
• Clocking and Performance  IGLOO family clock conditioning circuitry includes configurable CCC blocks and an integrated PLL option; family performance levels include documented system clock operation up to 250 MHz (1.5 V systems) and 160 MHz (1.2 V systems).
• Industrial Temperature Grade  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 85 °C, meeting industrial temperature requirements.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant supply status for environmental requirement alignment.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Use as a compact, reprogrammable control engine for motor drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and factory-automation interfaces where industrial temperature and low standby power are required.
• Embedded System Integration  On-chip flash configuration and embedded memory make the device suitable for single-chip system functions, protocol bridging, and peripheral aggregation in space-constrained designs.
• Low-Power Monitoring and Sensor Hubs  Flash*Freeze and Low Power Active modes enable always-on monitoring tasks and sensor scanning with minimal power draw while preserving state.
• Soft-Processor Implementations  Implement a Cortex-M1 soft processor for system control, deterministic interrupt handling, and firmware-based state machines within the FPGA fabric.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Logic and Memory:  Combine 24,576 logic elements and approximately 0.144 Mbits of embedded RAM to reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Nonvolatile, Instant-On Configuration:  Flash-based reprogrammability retains programmed design when powered off, enabling instant-on behavior and simplifying system startup sequences.
• Ultra-Low Power Modes:  Flash*Freeze and Low Power Active modes allow retention of configuration and state with micro-watt class consumption, enabling extended system standby life.
• ARM-Enabled Flexibility:  Support for a Cortex-M1 soft processor enables on-fabric firmware control without adding an external MCU, consolidating processing and I/O handling.
• Industrial Reliability:  Industrial temperature rating (−40 °C to 85 °C) and surface-mount 256-LBGA packaging support robust deployment in industrial environments.
• Security and In-System Programming:  FlashLock and family-level ISP features provide secure in-system programming and content protection options.
